Season 1, Episode 5
In this episode... we talk about what we've been reading lately.
Amy has been churning through great reads (but also starting way more books than she's finishing) and Laura is (surprise, surprise) reading a whole bunch of camping and hiking books in preparation for her Larapinta Trail hike in the NT in June. Plus, we talk about two reality TV shows we've been kind of obsessed with lately, and that we don't agree on, and share an update on our new small-town country life.
Spoiler alert: there isn't much of an update, we've been so ridiculously busy with work and travel commitments. Plus, the rain. The relentless rain, gah! It starts raining again in the episode. What a surprise. Also, remember that time Amy auditioned for Home & Away? Cringe.
